It was November 2008, the first movie of the Twilight series was on its way to a massive $409 million in box office revenue and David Slade was displeased. The indie director of 30 Days of Night and Hard Candy was not a fan of the movie, based on Stephenie Meyer's best-selling young-adult book series, and voiced his opinion of the teen vampire romance in a tweet: " 'Twilight' drunk? No, not even drunk. 'Twilight' on acid? No, not even on acid. 'Twilight' at gunpoint? Just shoot me.' " It was a snarky comment that could have easily been lost in the ether — had Slade not been tapped to direct the third film in the franchise, this summer's The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. When the old tweet was uncovered, it prompted…

Rotten Tomatoes has a write-up on the possibility that Eclipse will overtake (in more ways than one) the first two in the saga. Currently, the Tomatometer stands at 49% (ROTTEN).This Summer movie season has had its share of successes - Iron Man 2, Toy Story 3, and even surprise hit The Karate Kid have all fared well at the box office, but movie fans have known that the return of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series had to be included in their predictions of the Summer's biggest hits at box office. With fan and critic screenings taking place long before the movie's release this week, the players involved in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse are not only up against an army of newborn vampires, but the expectations of a Summer box office that has lagged on finding enormous blockbusters, along with the unshakable expectations of fans (who we'll admit will end up seeing the movie anyway) who are already lining up to see the movie with a level of commitment that puts Black Friday sale…

The Eclipse soundtrack is now available in stores nationwide, and I got my copy a few days ago. Compared to the New Moon soundtrack, I like this one better. The songs in this soundtrack felt more connected on each other. My personal favs include Sia's "My Love", The Bravery's "Ours" and Fanfarlo's "Atlas". Some songs are reminiscent of the New Moon soundtrack, except that the tone and molod is different. For example, My Love is almost like Anya Marina's Satellite Heart, but Love more romantic and less sleepy-ish sounding. The trend of featuring indie bands alongside well-known artists continues in this soundtrack, just like the Twilight and New Moon soundtrack. All in all, a great soundtrack to relax with, to jam with, or to take a drive with. Anyway, just a rundown on the tracks featured on the soundtrack: Eclipse (All Yours) - MetricNeutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever) - MUSEOurs - The BraveryHeavy In Your Arms - Florence And The Machin…

David Slade is known for his dark-theme movies, especially30 Days of Night and Hard Candy. So, transitioning from R-rated movies to good ol' PG13 is quite interesting. FEARnet discussed this matter and more with Mr Slade.

HollywoodNews has a write-up on some details about the trio during the recent TwiTour in L.A.As you likely know, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner (along with most of the “Eclipse” cast) appeared at the official “Twilight” convention in Los Angeles this past weekend. Below is a brief summary of some of the new funny and serious tidbits we learned about the Twifecta from their Q&A session:

Hi y'all! Not sure where some of you got the impression I intended to leave birth scene out of Breaking Dawn, but it's inaccurate. Of course the birth scene will be in there! And the sex scenes! And the feathers! And the blood! Perhaps you misinterpreted what I said about not needing to see BUCKETS of blood in order to convey the terror of the birth scene. But rest easy all! xoxo Mel

Rob admitted to the crowd that he’s been awake too long and is in a very strange mood and can’t answer questions well. But he says the funniest moment on the set of Eclipse was when Taylor was wearing little gray spandex and made him feel much better about himself! Source: Modoration

Collider went behind the scenes for the summer's most anticipated film, Eclipse!

With The Twilight Saga: Eclipse getting ready to hit theaters on June 30, Summit Entertainmenthas released an EPK for the media to use. If you’re not familiar with the term EPK, it stands for Electronic Press Kit. An EPK is where the studio puts movie clips, trailers, generic interviews and behind the scenes footage from whatever movie they’re promoting. With demand for everything Twilight, I figured some of you might like to see the B-Roll and on set interviews with Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, Stephenie Meyer, Bryce Dallas Howard and Ashley Greene.
